[PATCH v2 31/32] sh: support a 2-byte smp_store_mb

2015-12-31 Thread Michael S. Tsirkin
At the moment, xchg on sh only supports 4 and 1 byte values, so using it from smp_store_mb means attempts to store a 2 byte value using this macro fail. And happens to be exactly what virtio drivers want to do. Check size and fall back to a slower, but safe, WRITE_ONCE+smp_mb. Signed-off-by:
